1. Are you superstitious, and if so, what is/are your main ones?

I have some deeply embedded risidual superstitions from being raised in a "the devil is gonna get you" community, but I don't take any of them seriously. I have recently gotten into tarot though so that might count.

2. Do you watch reality TV? If so, which one(s)? Also, if you do, you're gay, just so you know.

I don't have cable so I only watch what I can stream. There are cool series about special effects and makeup artists that I've liked, and sometimes I get down on those cooking challenge shows. Omg also Alaska State Troopers.

3. Have you ever tried - and failed - to learn a musical instrument?

There are a lot of instruments I play that I wouldn't say I've "learned." I can pick pretty much anything up and dabble.

4. Star Trek or Star Wars?

The Star Trek universe is much more interesting to me.

5. Have you ever come close to death?

Close enough.

6. Do you follow fashion?

I have been wearing pretty much the same things for all of my adult life, sometimes I see similar outfits to my usual garb on forever 21 mannequins and sometimes on display at thrift stores.

1. Are you superstitious, and if so, what is/are your main ones?

I am hugely sceptical mostly but I do hesitate to tempt fate when it comes to my kids.

2. Do you watch reality TV? If so, which one(s)? Also, if you do, you're gay, just so you know.

No I get bored really fast with contrived drama.

3. Have you ever tried - and failed - to learn a musical instrument?

Yes I tried and abandoned learning piano, guitar, bass, double bass, saxophone, cornet and clarinet. I also hope to one day try and abandon learning vibraphone.

4. Star Trek or Star Wars?

Might have been slightly more invested in original series Star Trek but I have never seen any of the offshoots.

5. Have you ever come close to death?

I once narrowly missed plowing into a jack-knifed truck but that's about as close as I've gotten.

6. Do you follow fashion?

No I dress strictly for comfort.

I'm a rational skeptic.

2. Do you watch reality TV? If so, which one(s)? Also, if you do, you're gay, just so you know.

Threw out my TV in '99. Missed the whole 'reality' wave.

3. Have you ever tried - and failed - to learn a musical instrument?

Took piano for years but faked my way through every lesson playing entirely by ear. I still can't sight-read sheet music to this day.

4. Star Trek or Star Wars?

Tried to watch the original Star Wars trilogy but couldn't make it through the damn thing. Haven't seen a frame of any of the subsequent films.

Though I did tune in to Next Gen for a bit during the original airing. “Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra.”

5. Have you ever come close to death?

Blacked out while driving once years ago. Took out a stop sign and ended up in a ditch. I'm still here.

6. Do you follow fashion?

Baby, I lead fashion.

I think the age at which you first see Star Wars is probably related to how much you like it. If I'd seen the original trilogy when I was in my twenties I probably would have really liked it (barring maybe some issues with the hacky dialogue from the first movie), whereas I actually saw it around ten-years-old and fell head over heels in love. It also helped that I saw all three in theaters.

Yeah, not only did I see it when it was released, but I remember watching Film 77 (our show, still going, which talks, oddly enough, about the latest films) and seeing the trailer, being unable to wait then till I could go see it. The queue outside the cinema was ****ing huge! The same with the other two. Didn't bother as much with the "prequels", none of which I liked bar the last one, and have yet to see the new new ones. Yeah, any of them.

3. Have you ever tried - and failed - to learn a musical instrument?
beat making, i started and realized i was no timbaland real quick and moved on. traditional instruments though no maybe the guitar? i tried a bit and sucked. ive played the drums since i was young.

4. Star Trek or Star Wars?
never seen them but i would go with star wars because i kind of know a little about it from just seeing it on the news and stuff when they release a new movie.

5. Have you ever come close to death?
a few times
6. Do you follow fashion?

yup, i wear the same two outfits over and over :/ one shirt is a button up blue and ones a button up grey. both from walmart if you want to see what they look like. then i wear shorts most of the time, pants in the winter with a fleece sweater thing (from walmart also).

Nothing you do will stop what happens. It's all chaos. Hang on tight.

Not really no. I'll throw Cops on every once in a while but that's about it.

Have you ever tried - and failed - to learn a musical instrument?

I used to dabble in bass guitar and actually started to get pretty fluid but I started to work a lot and just lost free time to keep going and I fell out of touch with it.

Star Trek or Star Wars?

Star Wars. I'm not a huge geek but the first two are great films in my eyes. AND YES I MEAN THE EPISODE IV and V.

Have you ever come close to death?

Hiked the precipice trail in Acadia National Park this summer. You fall off one of those ladders and you dead.

Do you follow fashion?

No.
